DYING at the former Twitter HQ, in the heart of mid Market, where I worked for almost four years, getting called "Lower Hayes Valley" by its landlord

It’s brutal how much this is @monym.me, I’m dying lmao

these two should have a show together. such natural rapport

Amid the [gestures at everything], I've been meaning to re-up this piece from April. “‘Nonspeaking’ does not mean ‘non-listening,’” a formerly nonspeaking woman told me. “I was aware of the terrible things people were saying about me, when they discussed me like I wasn’t even there.”

Ugh so many sole proprietors/small businesses are only on instagram. Annoying.

bahaha

“Disney’s leadership has consulted legal experts and is confident it will win any case over broadcast licenses […] However, the fate of current and future transactions involving the company is less clear…”

To borrow from Doctor King: "I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the trans person's great stumbling block in their stride toward freedom is not the TERF or the Republican, but the centrist Democrat" www.thenation.com/article/pol...

Wrote for @thenation.com about the complicity of some liberal politicians and pundits in the conservative campaign to exterminate trans people www.thenation.com/article/poli...

ooookay this is a nightmare???

the perfect wall clock doesn't ex......

pretty sure that if Le Monde calls your trans kid a "fashion week sensation" while you're scaremongering about bathrooms in an off-year Virginia gubernatorial they should just scroll credits on your ass because it's over www.lemonde.fr/en/m-le-mag/...

Do you think Democrats are aware that while the rest of the world watches trump gleefully set everything on fire, they are *also* watching the Democrats doing fuck all about it? Like, why would anyone trust *you* either.

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

It is absolutely wild how different US coverage of the UN General Assembly is compared to literally any other country. No one else is fawning, folks.

Causal Inference by Shitposts is actually the only data science textbook I would consider writing

"Trump claimed he had ended foreign wars and questioned the purpose of the UN. He also said he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize and bragged about strikes on alleged drug boats near Venezuela." "This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?" the diplomat reportedly said.

my best "apocalypse didn't happen" story is when we got some y2k preppers who rented one of our cabins, fixed it up, filled it with supplies, and then never showed up ever again after the apocalypse didn't happen. Once it was clear they were never coming back we just took all the stuff, it was great

People are doing rapture jokes like there’s no tomorrow.

"The entries also include travelers never charged with a crime and dozens of cases where agents simply left the 'charges' field blank. In other files, officers invoked civil penalties as justification for DNA swabs that federal law reserves for criminal arrests." my latest @wired.com

NEW: CBP has been funneling DNA from US citizens—including kids—into the FBI’s crime database. Nearly 2,000 Americans swabbed, many with no charges. Once for violent offenders, CODIS is becoming a mass-surveillance archive. analysis by @georgetownprivacy.bsky.social

"Who is the Jim Cantore of incidents at your company?" is an intensely east coast question #sev0

I think the Tylenol discussion is good actually because society can finally have a wider conversation about boofing.

🤷🏼

this is the "I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people" for silicon valley

🎯 When Trump said, “There’s no harm in not taking it,” that was incredibly inaccurate, as we know that fevers can cause birth defects and even fetal death. It’s yet another reason why health recommendations 1️⃣ should come after careful & sufficient study 2️⃣ should come from actual health experts.

Monopolistic losers.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

"kristi noem and corey lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together" absolutely cursed sentence

me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

This is the correct way to report on these boat strikes

it is amazing how many of these guys love to make tough boastful statements then at the slightest sign of pushback back away like little bitches

The president cant pronounce "acetaminophen"

The funniest part of this is acetaminophen is the (perfectly safe) drug. Tylenol is a *brand*, and by attacking the brand and not the drug, the US government has just given Kenvue a massive gift when this goes to court. Their lawyers are likely drooling right now.

fun to watch RFK in these press conferences and see that he is even more deranged than the president

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

A snapshot of Silicon Valley in 2025 is Mark Zuckerberg, now a MAGA-friendly mixed martial arts fan who doesn’t worry much about hate speech on his platforms and complains that corporate America isn’t masculine enough.

I wish I was a little kid again I bet my dads attack patterns would be really predictable after playing elden ring

Poor babies

The internet was better when it was just a VT100 over dialup.

Oh my god his wife is dean of the USC School for Communication and Journalism “board members have expressed their concerns internally over the optics of holding a free speech event at the home of the man who yanked Kimmel off the air” Interesting conversations prob going on in that house right now

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

'Thank you for your feedback we're going to listen to absolutely none of it and we're going to keep banning Palestinians and trans people whenever we feel like it and we're keeping the vague rules that will let us ban artists with impunity.'
